What mediocrity surrounded John? =20 =20 As you said, I work around some very talented people some of whom have large egos. Fortunately most here are mature enough to keep their egos in check, have developed acceptable social skills and work productively. There are people who's talent to productivity ratio is unfavorable and frequently they have to be let go. =20 =20 I have spent time with many of the people in the home office, and on the Journal staff and I have not thought of any of them as mediocre. =20 dp =20 David M.

I can imagine he may have been difficult to work with. Unfortunately such is often the case with very talented and artistic people.=20 Dean Hi Dean, Then we had better learn how to work with this kind of talent, or we will lose. As we have. Let's face it, many of us work with this kind of Artistic temperament on a regular basis. As professionals we have learned to adapt. Those that never learn, rarely reach the top. John may have been difficult and passionate, but he strove for excellence, and attained it. Unfortunately he was surrounded by mediocrity.=20 Regards Roger ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
